Taking up residency in 1999, animal-tastic musical ‘The Lion King’ shows no signs of moving out of the Lyceum, its vibrant yellow banners as much a part of the theatre’s exterior as its original, nineteenth-century portico.

It hasn’t always operated as a theatre either, the venue variously renovated into a wartime ballroom and transformed into a gig venue where The Clash, Bob Marley, and The Who all played.

Rating: 4/5

The posters have been plastered around the London Underground for 12 years – long enough for this show to rack up 5,000 performances – but nothing prepares you for the sheer impact of 'The Lion King's opening sequence. With the surge of 'Circle Of Life'...
